Glacier View Bike and Brew

Our guides meet you at your ship and take you for a scenic van ride to our first stop in the back of the Mendenhall Valley. During the drive our guides provide you with historical information on the founding of Juneau, some of their favorite stories about Juneau, and what you are seeing along the way. Our guides, who all live in Juneau, range in age from 15 to 72 which makes for a variety of interesting experiences to share. They also love to answer your questions as we make our way to the set up area. The set up area is where you are fitted with your helmet, bike, given water bottles; and rain gear and gloves if necessary. We will also spend time going through the equipment with you and giving everyone a safety talk.
We begin our 9.2 mile ride near Auke Lake with our
first camera stop at
Chapel by the Lake, a quaint older log chapel with a lovely view
of the Mendenhall Glacier across Auke Lake; marvel at the scenic
views of the Lake and surrounding mountains and Glacier. The
While at the beach, our guides help to explain the Juneau Icefield and the Mendenhall Glacier areas, and answer your questions. After a rest, snack, click of your camera, and a beverage, ride to the East side of the Mendenhall Glacier for a stop near the Visitor's Center. There you will take a short walk to the see the majestic Mendenhall Glacier from a much closer perspective. There is a wonderful covered viewing area which looks straight on to the Mendenhall Glacier for you to enjoy. On the way visit a nearby stream where in the late summer months you can see salmon spawning and once in a while you can even see bears snacking on the spawning salmon. More fantastic picture taking!
Afterwards, relax in the van while you are driven back to your Ship. Notes: To enter the Brewery you must be at least 21 or accompanied by a legal guardian or parent.
